Star Wars Men Behind the mask title card

George Lucas obviously has an eye for talent, even for actors whose faces never appear onscreen. These faceless actors rely on their presence, movements, and distinctive voices to bring life to the masks they wear (even if sometimes those voices are overdubbed). And yet these men behind the masks remain, for the most part, mugless. Sure, what they lack in recognition they more than make up for in appearance fees on the "Star Wars" convention circuit. But still, in honor of the 3D re-release of "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace" (1999), we wanted to officially recognize these all-important men behind the masks.
